and Purposeful Prose
Too tired to reach Too worn to seek Dragging my stumbling feet Waiting for my reprieve Anchored and out of reach Longing to rise and speak I try but my voice is weak Afloat but I'm moored to the beach When will joy be the song of my heart? Lord, I'm worn I don't know [...]
[...deeper into the path...] A Pilgrimage takes one on a long journey. Usually to a foreign country. As followers of Christ that country is heaven. However, God also takes us on our own individualized journeys that may lead us to unimaged places here on earth. "Faith motivated Abraham to obey God’s call and leave the [...]
Sometimes we forget (or perhaps you don't even know), that God wants to show us that He is strong and able. He wants to be known by the world for who He is and what He can do. Don't we all desire to be known? To really be seen and understood? How much more do [...]
Mental unwellness It's a tide that makes life bleak It's a struggle The constant juggle Emotions like waves of the sea Anxiety, guilt, and grief Low moods and high water Life can feel like a teeter-totter Where's the balance?

I want to grow wings And rise up again Will I find my way? Do trials ever end? I want to live I want to be free Will I find my passion That I lost at sea? When I fall, will I rise? Will I hear God's song? Will I find my strength When I [...]
I'm a fish Blub blub blub Don’t ask I'm trying something different Thinking outside my box It was kind of cramped in there anyways. Wait a minute I'm a fish Fishes don’t have boxes They swim the ocean with ease Sometimes we call them seas So seize the day And be a fish If you [...]
This isn’t what I planned on posting. I'm not feeling happy with what I was going to share, and to be honest the day is attempting to kick me in the teeth. As I started to get tearful, hope and joy began to run the other way. Get back here!!! Stop being cowards!!!! Okay, that [...]
I wrote this poem for one of my best friends a couple of years back. I went looking for it because I felt that I really needed this reminder myself. The funny thing is that Chris and I have reversed roles. He is much happier and content than he was when we met. Wait a [...]
